Cocktail bars in Bangkok

Bar-programme bars, speakeasies and lounges, most of them in Thonglor, Sathorn and along Charoen Krung.

281 cocktail bars tracked · 270 rated, averaging 4.7 across 93,644 Google reviews · 261 with listed hours, 25 of them running past 2am · 105 with Google popular-times data. Google Maps data from 8 September 2026.

Bangkok's cocktail rooms are the part of its nightlife with an international reputation, and they are priced for it: expect 400–600 baht a drink at the bars on the regional lists and 200–300 at the neighbourhood ones (2026, indicative). Many sit behind an unmarked door, upstairs from a shophouse or inside a restaurant, so check the address and the floor before you set out. Thursday to Saturday after 9pm the named rooms fill; a reservation by LINE or Instagram is normal and free. The listing order below puts the venues with the most reviews behind their rating first.

  • A 10% service charge and 7% VAT are often added on top of the menu price at hotel and high-end bars; the menu says so in small print.
  • Happy hour, where it exists, is 5–7pm and usually on house pours, not the signature list.
  • The 2am close applies here; only Silom–Patpong, RCA and Ratchada are licensed to 4am.

The rules, checked 8 September 2026

  • Bars and clubs close at 2am, except in three Bangkok zones licensed to 4am: Silom–Patpong, RCA with New Phetchaburi Road, and Ratchadaphisek Road.
  • The drinking age is 20, for Thais and foreigners alike.
  • Shops, supermarkets and convenience stores sell alcohol from 11am to midnight every day.

Frequently asked questions

How many cocktail bars does this list cover in Bangkok?

281 venues, taken from Google Maps on 8 September 2026 across the central nightlife areas; 270 of them are rated, averaging 4.7 across 93,644 Google reviews. Venues are here because Google's category, its amenity flags or its listed hours match the scene, not because we chose them, so a bar that files itself as a restaurant is not in this list.

Which area has the most cocktail bars?

Phrom Phong (Soi 22–39) (45), Thonglor & Ekkamai (36) and Silom, Patpong & Sathorn (33) hold the most of this list. Not on the 4am list.

What time do Bangkok cocktail bars close?

The legal close is 2am outside the three 4am zones (Silom–Patpong, RCA and Ratchadaphisek). Of the 261 venues here with hours on Google, 25 list a close of 3am or later on at least one night, which reflects what the venue says rather than what its licence says.

How much do cocktail bars in Bangkok cost?

164 of the 281 cocktail bars carry a Google price band; the median band works out around ฿700 a head, which is Google's per-person figure rather than a drink price. A 10% service charge and 7% VAT are often added on top of the menu price at hotel and high-end bars; the menu says so in small print.

When do Bangkok cocktail bars get busy?

105 of the 281 venues carry Google popular-times data, and the quietest and busiest windows for that set are shown above, weekdays against weekends. The crowd calendar page for clubs and bars has the full weekly heatmap.

Run a bar or club in Bangkok (cocktail bars)?

Every venue on this page came from Google Maps, which means the hours, the phone number and the photo are whatever Google had on 8 September 2026. Two ways to fix that. The ✓ Verified badge is free: we confirm the listing is real and current, you link to it from your own site or Instagram, and it moves above every unverified venue in these lists. Featured is the paid slot at the top of the scene and area pages, ฿990 a month, sold per page so the number of them stays small.

Sources and verification

  • Venues, hours, prices, amenity flags and popular-times histograms: Google Maps, scraped on 8 September 2026 for the central nightlife areas listed above. Outer districts were not part of this pass, so a bar in Bang Na or Lat Phrao is not missing by judgement, it is missing by scope.
  • A venue's scene (cocktail bar, live music, open past 2am) is computed from Google's category labels, its amenity flags, its name or its listed hours, never asserted by us; the exact rules are in the site's source, and a venue no rule catches appears only under its area.
  • Legal facts checked 8 September 2026: the 4am zones against The Nation, Coconuts and the Bangkok Post; retail hours against the Royal Gazette notice of 28 May 2026; the drinking age against the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act B.E. 2551.
  • Ratings shown are Google's and are never marked up as ours; no Google review text is reproduced.
